Frequently Asked Questions

What can a Psychiatrist do for me?

A Psychiatrist is a certified medical professional that specializes in the diagnosis, treatment, and management of mental illness and psychological problems.  A Psychiatrist has completed medical school, in addition to at least four years of training in the field.  Psychiatrists are not only trained to diagnose and manage mental illness but are also adept at providing psychotherapy.  Certain specializations within Psychiatry require additional years of training and qualification.  Within the profession, each Psychiatrist has specific areas of interest and specialization but has the skills to provide treatment from multiple approaches.  

Will my treatment be kept confidential?

We will not reveal any information regarding what happens within the work that we do together unless you have signed the Authorization to Disclose Information form.  In the instance that you are in danger of harming yourself or another, then we are obligated by law to notify the authorities of this. 

How long will my treatment last?

There are no precise determinations that we can make regarding the length of your treatment.  Generally speaking, the longer you have had your mental illness not medically acknowledged, the longer the treatment will take.  Certain conditions do not require a lot of time to treat, and others considerably more.  Certain mental illnesses require just a couple of visits, and others require lifelong maintenance.  We believe that you should seek treatment as soon as possible, for the best outcome.  

How can I prevent mental illness coming back?

We give you guidance and protocols to adhere to both inside and outside of our office.  Follow the treatment regimen and plan of action that we prescribe.  Make sure that you follow the medication regimen, attend the psychotherapy and counseling sessions, and keep your life as balanced as you can.  It is very important to try and avoid stressful situations, let your loved ones help you whenever possible, and seek help the moment you feel like your mental illness is coming back or getting worse.

What will happen during my first appointment?

We will meet with you for an extensive interview and psychiatric evaluation in which we will gather some information such as your history, symptoms, and family dynamics.  Within this first session together, we will then determine the best plan of action to move forward.

Will the cost of my treatment be covered by my insurance plan?

Depending on what type of insurance provider you are currently using, coverage for our services will vary.  Many insurance companies reimburse anywhere from 50-80% of the total cost of services.  We take payments are the beginning of each session and take cash, checks, and all major credit cards.

What determines if my mental illness will come back?

There are a few components that play a part in the recurrence of mental illness.
Coexisting stresses in life: oftentimes, a mental illness will recur if there are additional life stressors (family or marital problems, starting a new job, losing someone close to you). 

What if I have an emergency or an urgent situation come up?

If you find yourself in the midst of an emergency, please immediately call 9-1-1.  If you have an urgent situation, call our office, and we will see you as soon as we can.
